Urban Saboteur Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Hey Guys, I got thinking about my previous collection, I particularly remember being disappointed with the Wave 1 Star Sapphire. It's not a figure that I miss, and to try and show you why i'm going to post a photo up of the Star Sapphire I used to have, I was quite happy with most of the figure, all apart from her Mask, now I know I don't have the pointy bit of the mask near her nose lined up with the centre of her Lips, but even if I did, the eyes don't seem at centre or straight. It's like she has a wonky mask or something. So I wanted to ask those of you that have Star Sapphire, do you have this issue? I can't imagine she's meant to have this flaw, or do you simply not care so much about this Minimate? If possible can you post up a picture of yours, so i can compare, I'm thinking i just got a bad one out of the factory last time. Just got a little unlucky. What do you guys think? am i being overly picky? In friendship Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamrock Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 You got a major paint screw-up there. But in general, I'm not a fan of the figure. The mask is just too thick and I don't like the big-collar solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar17 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I wasn't a fan either -- which is why I traded her away & then had Luke do a custom for me (the JLU Star Sapphire) that I adore. Mine wasn't wonky like that, for the record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattallica Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 definitely not one of the better DC minimates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vox Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I have several of this figure (need lots of Hal Jordan's for variations) and I don't have any wonky eyes. I think they got a little more creative with DC in later waves.. poor sapphire had to be in wave one. <sigh> now writing about this makes me wish DC Minimates were on wave 44 like Marvel.

Urban Saboteur Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 Wow. Thanks for the replies guys, yeah i think the wonky mask one I got made me dislike the figure, I don't mind the character too much and i know she is included with Green Lantern for a reason. I will probably try and pick her up again at some point just to bulk up my DC side. I'll just have to becareful when buying that she doesn't have a bad paint apps like this one. At least i know it wasn't something repeated on every figure, that's promising. Can anyone post up an image of their own Star Sapphire for comparison? Thanks guys.
